-- - The American people have no one leading the charge
for the restoration of the Constitution and the rule of law.

My point is not that few
Americans are engaged and energized in doing good things,
but simply that there is no individual who is leading… no
one with whom you and a great many others are willing stand
and fight in order to defend your country and your heritage.

Vying
for political leadership are the two principal nominees
hoping to be the Democratic candidate for President of the
United States. And there’s also the Presidential candidate
for the Republicans. But none of these candidates have made
the ongoing perpetration of crimes — against our
Constitution and the American people — an issue or a cause
worth fighting for.

I'm not going to recount
here all the ways that the Constitution and the rule of law
have been trampled upon in recent years. A Google search on
"Bush crimes" might be time well spent for anyone who needs
a review.

Apparently most citizens
have been talked out of their patriotism by the mainstream
media, the two main political parties, and our elected
officials — those traitors who conveniently forgot their
oath of office while the Constitution was being so
denigrated.

One issue in the upcoming
election under discussion is the ending of the war in Iraq.
But on close inspection we see that that, in and of itself,
would be a bogus issue. The real issue is whether we are
going to recognize the illegitimacy of the war, the crimes
that were committed to instigate the war, and the ongoing
crimes against the Constitution and innocent people in the
administration of the war. The war itself was a
direct attack on the Constitution and the American people...
and of course on the people of Iraq and Afghanistan.

The real issue is whether we
are a nation of laws… i.e., do we believe in the rule of
law… or have we simply given up on the American Experiment
and the Constitution itself. If we acknowledge that the war
was illegal — that egregious crimes were committed in its
execution — then it will follow that we must end the war.
But what follows is much more than that.

Just talking about ending
the war and bringing our troops home, without addressing
the shredding of the Constitution, is a betrayal of every
American and every soldier who ever fought in this war or
any other. Are we going to reclaim ourselves as a
Constitutional republic or have we given up trying to be the
America that was originally conceived into being by the
Framers?

Beyond the war and its
illegality, are the following travesties that need to be
addressed:

the illegitimate
elections that fraudulently put criminals in charge of
our government and kept them there.

the ongoing destruction
of government itself by the purposeful evisceration of
nearly every oversight function of government. Lies
permeate government offices everywhere. That’s why the
economy is failing, why we have no energy policy, why
our educational system is behind the rest of the
developed world, why all citizens do not have access to
affordable health care, why our food supply is at risk,
why our children are at risk even when they play with
toys, why our infrastructure is in a state of decay, why
inflation is stealing from every paycheck, why the
over-bloated military industrial complex is bankrupting
our country, why Congress no longer works as a body
representing real people… and the list goes on and on.

when and how are we
going to recognize and take responsibility for the
crimes we have committed against other members of our
human family?

If we refuse to acknowledge
the crimes, and if we refuse to find and stand with a leader
who is willing and able to honorably seek justice in their
resolution, we will be surrendering our rights, our
freedoms, and our heritage to the true enemies of our
republic — we will be surrendering to ignorance, arrogance,
cowardice, and greed. I invite you to review the following
